St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle will be where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle get married

Again, for Prince Harry and his bride-to-be Meghan, that’s not a problem. The Royal Family say they will be paying for the wedding, from everything to the service, the music, the flowers and the reception.

But it’s not unusual for royals to have a short engagement. Prince William and Kate married five months after their announcement, and Harry’s dad was the same when he got hitched to Princess Diana.

Another reason for having it in May is to ensure Meghan’s future sister-in-law Kate is able to attend.

Harry was christened in the chapel in December 1984 when he was three months old

Announcing the venue for their wedding today, a Kensington Palace spokesman said: “Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are extremely grateful for the warm public response following yesterday’s announcement of their engagement.

“In a happy moment in their lives, it means a great deal to them that so many people throughout the UK, the Commonwealth, and around the world are celebrating with them.

“The couple are delighted to be able to announce that their wedding will be held in St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle in May next year.

“As with all members of the royal family, Windsor is a very special place for Prince Harry and he and Ms Markle have regularly spent time there over the last year and a half.

“They are grateful to the Queen for granting permission for the use of the chapel. The chapel itself has centuries of Royal tradition and hosted the weddings of many members of the royal family.

“Prince Harry and Ms Markle are delighted that the beautiful grounds of Windsor Castle will be where they begin their lives together as a married couple.”
